Today I moved my joomla site to another hosting. All back up and done fine except when I tried opening, I got this: Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL Code (markup): I look at my configuration.php, but this seems different from when googled the solution: <?php class JConfig { var $offline = '0'; var $editor = 'tinymce'; var $list_limit = '20'; var $helpurl = 'http://help.joomla.org'; var $debug = '0'; var $debug_lang = '0'; var $sef = '1'; var $sef_rewrite = '1'; var $sef_suffix = '1'; var $feed_limit = '10'; var $feed_email = 'site'; var $secret = 'xxx'; var $gzip = '1'; var $error_reporting = '-1'; var $xmlrpc_server = '0'; var $log_path = '/logs'; var $tmp_path = '/tmp'; var $live_site = ''; var $force_ssl = '0'; var $offset = '-8'; var $caching = '0'; var $cachetime = '15'; var $cache_handler = 'file'; var $memcache_settings = array(); var $ftp_enable = '0'; var $ftp_host = 'xxx'; var $ftp_port = '21'; var $ftp_user = 'xxx'; var $ftp_pass = 'xxx'; var $ftp_root = ''; var $dbtype = 'mysql'; var $host = 'localhost'; var $user = 'xxx'; var $db = 'xxx'; var $dbprefix = 'jos_'; var $mailer = 'mail'; var $mailfrom = 'xxx'; var $fromname = 'xxx'; var $sendmail = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; var $smtpauth = '0'; var $smtpuser = ''; var $smtppass = ''; var $smtphost = 'localhost'; var $MetaAuthor = '1'; var $MetaTitle = '1'; var $lifetime = '15'; var $session_handler = 'database'; var $password = 'xxx'; var $sitename = 'xxx'; var $MetaDesc = 'xxx'; var $MetaKeys = 'xxx'; var $offline_message = 'This site is down for maintenance. Please check back again soon.'; } ?> Code (markup): I also tried adding $pass, but still not working. I also tested using this suggestion - working fine: <?php $host = 'localhost'; $user = 'looblog1_jo151'; $pass = 'jo151'; $db = 'looblog1_jo151'; //Don't change below here $conn = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass); mysql_select_db($db, $conn); echo '<hr />anything above this linebreak is BAD!'; Code (markup):
Just copy paste mysql database and upload Joomla files to root? Where do you set the new server settings? P.s. Good luck with the new site. Wouter
